Russia and Ukraine will meet today for their first direct talks in more than three years.
According to foreign media, citing the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Turkey, the US and Ukraine will meet in the first meeting of the day.
Russia and Ukraine will hold their direct talks later, with the participation of Turkish representatives, writes A2 CNN.
The first meeting is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. UK time and the second for 10:30 a.m. UK time.
The Russian and Ukrainian delegations were expected to meet yesterday, but the Russian delegation ended up meeting with the Turkish Foreign Minister in Istanbul last night.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The talks in Istanbul were organized after Russian President Vladimir Putin called for direct talks between the warring parties last Sunday.
Zelenskyy called on the Kremlin leader to meet him in person, but Putin chose not to attend, sending instead what the Ukrainian leader called a "decorative" and low-level Russian delegation. (A2 Televizion)
